1
Prepare the Orange Peels
Wash the oranges thoroughly and use a vegetable peeler to remove the peels, avoiding the bitter white pith. You will need about 2 large pieces of orange peels.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass jar, combine the orange peels, cognac, and sugar. Stir gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
3
Prepare the Syrup
In a saucepan, combine water and the sugar from the jar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool down.
4
Add Syrup to Jar
Once the syrup is cool, pour it into the jar with the orange peels and cognac mixture. Stir gently to combine.
5
Add Vanilla Bean
Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the jar. Add the entire vanilla pod as well for extra flavor.
6
Infuse the Mixture
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Allow the mixture to infuse for at least 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days.
7
Strain and Bottle
After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. Seal the bottle tightly.
8
Store and Enjoy
Store the Grand Marnier in a cool, dark place. It can be enjoyed on its own, in cocktails, or as a flavoring in desserts.
